The type inside a JSON schema defines the data format of a field. Furthermore based on this type, form fields are rendered automatically in order to fit the defined format. The supported format types are:

Format	Configuration example	Description

Format	Configuration example	Description
Date	`"myDate": { "type": "string", "format": "date" }`	Meant for a single date. Shows-up as date picker in the form.
Text	`"myText": { "type": "string" }`	Meant for small amount of text. Shows-up as single-line input field in the form.
Single-List	`"mySingleList": { "type": "string", "enum":["male", "female"] }`	Meant for lists where only one element can be selected from. Shows-up as single-select drop-down in the form.
Multi-List		Meant for lists where multiple elements can be selected from. Shows-up as multi-select drop-down in the form.
Yes/No		Meant for yes/no (true/false) values. Shows-up as checkbox in the form. You can set the attribute `"render":"button"` in the form config in order to display this as a clickable button instead of a checkbox.
Number		Meant for number values. Shows-up as number field in the form.
File		Meant for file attachments to an object. In order to show-up in a form correctly, additionally you need to set `"render":"filepicker"` or `"render":"pdfpreview"` in the form configuration.
